9. If the value of ϕ is 20 by lever rule and reflux is 6000mol/hr what is distillate rate?
a) 300mol/hr
b) 30mol/hr
c) 400mol/hr
d) 40mol/hr
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: ϕ= reflux flow/distillate flow ,hence distillate flow = reflux flow/ ϕ = 6000/200= 300.

10. If the value of ϕ is 20 by lever rule and reflux is 8000mol/hr what is distillate rate?
a) 300mol/hr
b) 30mol/hr
c) 400mol/hr
d) 40mol/hr
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: ϕ= reflux flow/distillate flow ,hence distillate flow = reflux flow/ ϕ = 8000/200= 400.

11. If the value of ϕ is 10 by lever rule and reflux is 3500mol/hr what is distillate rate?
a) 350mol/hr
b) 30mol/hr
c) 450mol/hr
d) 40mol/hr
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: ϕ= reflux flow/distillate flow ,hence distillate flow = reflux flow/ ϕ = 3500/10= 350.

12. If the value of ϕ is 20 by lever rule and reflux is 2000mol/hr what is distillate rate?
a) 100mol/hr
b) 30mol/hr
c) 400mol/hr
d) 40mol/hr
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: ϕ= reflux flow/distillate flow ,hence distillate flow = reflux flow/ ϕ = 2000/20= 100.

13. If the value of ϕ is 25 by lever rule and reflux is 3000mol/hr what is distillate rate?
a) 12mol/hr
